《菊與刀》是魯思·本尼迪剋特最有名的作品,這本書是第二次世界大戰接近尾聲時,作者受美國政府委托,為解決盟軍是否應該占領日本以及美國應該如何管理日本的問題,根據文化類型理論、運用文化人類學方法對即將戰敗的日本進行研究所得齣的綜閤報告。
恬淡靜美的“菊”是日本皇室傢徽,凶狠決絕的“刀”是武士道文化的象徵。魯思·本尼迪剋特運用文化人類學的方法,用“菊”與“刀”來揭示日本人的矛盾性格,即日本文化的雙重性(如愛美而黷武、尚禮而好鬥、喜新而頑固、服從而不馴等)。由此入手,進而分析日本社會的等級製及有關習俗,並指齣日本幼兒教養和成人教養的不連續性是形成雙重性格的重要因素。文本從日本人生活方式和典型事件入手,於生動的敘述中進行有力論析,語言富有智慧和幽默感。讀之既啓人深思,又引人入勝,是瞭解日本民族繞不過的經典讀本。
魯思·本尼迪剋特,生於紐約,原姓富爾頓(Fulton),美國女人類學傢。第二次世界大戰後期,德日敗局已定,美國需要根據日本的情況製定具體的政策,於是本尼迪剋特在1944年,受命於美國政府,收集各項資料,完成瞭這份報告,並在報告中闡述自己的推斷。戰爭結束後,美國的決策與她的推斷意見一緻,她準確的預見是本書亮點之一。她在大學期間學習的是英國文學,1919年前往哥倫比亞大學從事人類學研究,師從於二戰前最偉大的人類學傢之一——弗蘭茨·博厄斯(FranzBoas,1858-1942),1923年獲得瞭博士學位。她於1927年研究印第安部落文化,寫成《文化的類型》(PatternofCulture,1934年)一書,1940年完成《種族:科學與政治》(Race:ScienceandPolitics)一書,批判種族歧視。第二次世界大戰期間從事對羅馬尼亞、荷蘭、德國、泰國等國民族性的研究,而其中對日本的研究——《菊與刀》一書的貢獻最大。二戰結束後,她繼續在哥倫比亞大學參加“當代文化研究”,於1948年9月病逝。

GLOSSARY
Anthropologists also have had to accustom themselves to maximum differences between their own culture and another and their techniques have to be sharpened for this particular problem. They know from experience that there are great differences in the situations which men in different cultures have to meet and in the way in which different tribes and nations define the meanings of these situations. In some Arctic village or tropical desert they were faced with tribal arrangements of kinship responsibility or financial exchange which in their moments of most unleashed imagination they could not have invented. They have had to investigate, not only the details of kinship or exchange, but what the consequences of these arrangements were in the tribe’s behavior and how each generation was conditioned from childhood to carry on as their ancestors had done before them.
This professional concern with differences and their conditioning and their consequences could well be used in the study of Japan. No one is unaware of the deep-rooted cultural differences between the United States and Japan. We have even a folklore about the Japanese which says that whatever we do they do the opposite. Such a conviction of difference is dangerous only if a student rests content with saying simply that these differences are so fantastic that it is impossible to understand such people. The anthropologist has good proof in his experience that even bizarre behavior does not prevent one’s understanding it. More than any other social scientist he has professionally used differences as an asset rather than a liability. There is nothing that has made him pay such sharp attention to institutions and peoples as the fact that they were phenomenally strange. There was nothing he could take for granted in his tribe’s way of living and it made him look not just at a few selected facts, but at everything. In studies of Western nations one who is untrained in studies of comparative cultures overlooks whole areas of behavior. He takes so much for granted that he does not explore the range of trivial habits in daily living and all those accepted verdicts on homely matters, which, thrown large on the national screen, have more to do with that nation’s future than treaties signed by diplomats.
